“Baseline’s employee-driven culture transfers into exceeding our clients’ expectations.”

—John McLain, Baseline Engineering President

In 1998, Baseline Engineering Corporation was formed to fill a void and to stand out in a sea of engineering consultant companies. Since the profession is so heavily dependent on employees, it made sense to create a company with an incredible work environment. We’ve accomplished that at Baseline. Our founding principles encourage us to continuously guide and motivate employees.

Baseline’s employee-driven culture transfers to exceeding our clients’ expectations. Every employee has ownership in providing service that’s more responsive, flexible, attentive to budget limits, and lives up to Baseline’s commitments. This philosophy has enabled us to become a leader in the region and expand our engineering, planning, and surveying services. It has also allowed us to maintain a small-firm feel while providing a big-firm experience.

We are proud of the positive feedback we receive from our clients and employees. However, we don’t take it for granted. We continuously look for new strategies to perfect our service and remain as one of the best engineering companies in Colorado If you share our mission, please join us.
